Social Phenomena Assignment (Written Assignment). Use APA format/citation. Use uploaded material as a reference.

Write a 3 page paper on a current event from the newspaper, magazines or internet that will allow you to engage in sociological analysis.  Most events involve human interaction so it should not be difficult to identify and explain some social phenomena.  For instance, politicians on the left and right can act like babies when called upon to make a decision that potentially impacts the country (e.g., “build the wall” on the border).  While building the wall, or not, is an event, it is the interaction between the political parties that serves as the real social phenomena.  Why are they at odds with one another when each side has supported the wall in the past?  The interesting phenomenon is how they need to continue to be at odds to get our money for their support and to keep us thinking we are all at odds with one another.  The truth is that they know they can’t extract more money from us if they settle the “problems”.  In any event, explain the social phenomena using a theoretical perspective.  No cover page is necessary on short papers.  The document must be in 12-point Times New Roman font, double-spaced with one inch margins

Population health managers often have clinical data available from their acute care patients†discharge records and electronic medical records (EMRs). They may not have access to basic incidence and prevalence data for their sub-population. To enhance their decision-making process, they seek more than the basic morbidity, mortality, and injury data that is often available from state databases. This weekâ€s Assignment requires you to drill down typical data using common rate formulas. The most common filters are age, race, and gender in addition to targeting a specific disease or type of injury. As you review this weekâ€s resources and complete the Assignment, you might consider the implications of this data when examining the health of populations and the ways it might be used for management decisions.
To prepare:

Review this weekâ€s Resources and download the Week 2 Assignment 1 Template to complete this Assignment.
Review Chapter 2 in Caron (2017), and consider how the public health concepts of mortality, morbidity, epidemics, and surveillance form a basis for epidemiological calculations.
Review Chapter 3 in Caron (2017) to understand the rationale and the application of rates to help define the health status of a population.
Focus on the descriptive epidemiology tools of crude (mortality, morbidity, specific age and disease), and Proportionate Mortality Ratio (PMR).
Examine the table on p. 141 of Caron (2017), “All Causes and Unintentional Injury Mortality and Estimated Population by Age Group, for Both Sexes and for Males Alone – United States, 2002.”
If helpful, review and complete the practice exercises found in Chapter 5 of Caron (2017).

The Assignment (2-3 pages):
Complete the calculations and provide a 1-page summary interpretation of your results on the Week 2 Assignment 1 Template provided in the Resources.
